quarry tile flooring

Quarry tile is made of natural clay, and in many cases, the color of the clay determines the color. For years, the floors in commercial kitchens, bathrooms, and other facilities, have been covered with quarry tile. Quarry tile is durable and relatively inexpensive. Some are multicolored and contain marble like swirls or patterns resembling wood grain.

Although primarily used extensively in commercial applications, quarry tile is gaining popularity in the home both inside and out. The color tones are 'earthy' and lend a more contemporary look to floors. They even come 'flashed', meaning that within each box there will be varied shades which when installed will create a beautiful country or even rustic decor.
